At The Sanctuary, we believe in educating our community with factual information about cannabis. Today, let’s address one of the most persistent misconceptions in the cannabis industry.
The Myth: Indica vs. Sativa Determines the Effects
You’ve probably heard it countless times: “Indica puts you to sleep, while Sativa energizes.” This oversimplified categorization has been repeated so often that it’s accepted as gospel in many circles. However, the reality is far more complex.
Here’s why this myth needs debunking:
- Plant morphology doesn’t directly correlate with effects
- Chemical profiles (cannabinoids and terpenes) determine the experience
- Most modern strains are hybrids anyway
The Truth Behind the Effects
What actually determines how cannabis affects you is the unique combination of:
- Cannabinoid profile (THC, CBD, CBN, etc.)
- Terpene composition
- Individual body chemistry
- Consumption method
At The Sanctuary, we focus on providing detailed chemical profiles for all our products, helping you make informed decisions based on science rather than outdated categorizations.
Making Better Choices
Instead of asking for “Indica” or “Sativa,” we encourage our customers to:
- Discuss desired effects with our knowledgeable staff
- Review detailed product profiles
- Consider starting with lower doses
- Keep track of personal experiences
Understanding cannabis means moving beyond simple categorizations and embracing the complex science behind this remarkable plant. Visit The Sanctuary to learn more about making informed choices for your personal wellness journey.
